RE/CREATIONS: A toolkit for arts and cultural organisations and Youth Justice Settings

This toolkit has been written and compiled based on the findings from the RE/CREATIONS weekly Arts Award partnership programme with the Southampton Youth Offending Service, John Hansard Gallery, artSOUTH, Southampton City Art Gallery and Sea City Museum. RE/CREATIONS formed part of the wider, Artswork commissioned action research strategic funding programme which explored innovative practice between arts and cultural organisations and youth justice settings during September 2013 to August 2014. Support for the programme was also provided by the Office of the Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner.

Managed by the John Hansard Gallery and Southampton Youth Offending Service, RE/CREATIONS aimed to bridge the gap between arts and cultural provision for young people identified as ‘repeat offenders’ aged 14-17, through the provision of a longer-term weekly Arts Award embedded programme. Outcomes from this programme were evaluated in a final project report. It is recommended that this toolkit is read in conjunction with the RE/CREATIONS final report.
